Welcome back to our PBS classroom.

My name is Mrs. Vang and I'm so excited to have you here to become amazing readers and writers.

I know some of you guys are super excited because we are nearing the end of the school year and you guys have learned so much and are becoming amazing readers and writers.

Okay.

Boys and girls.

So I was at a school library this last week and I was able to walk around and I wanted to pick books to share with you guys that I haven't read before.

And that I thought you guys would enjoy.

So I picked up this book and it's called Snack Attack.

And it's written by Terry Boarder.

And this is a funny book, boys and girls because do you love snacks?

Oh, I know my kids at home love snacks.

They snack all the time.

Well, this is a great book because it tells a story from the perspective of three snacks.

Yep.

From a cookie, from a pretzel and from a I call this a cheese puff in the story they call this a cheese doodle, but and you know what else I love about this book?

This book was, if you look, they weren't they're not pictures.

They're not illustrations, but they look like photographs.

You're right.

So someone photograph these as the illustration.

Isn't that awesome?

So boys and girls if you want to read this book called Snack Attack.

It's a great book.

You can try to see if you can find it on Soar.

If you have the Soar app or your County library or at your school library.

Tell me if you guys enjoy this book.

Now let's go over and talk about which schools came or showed up in our top five schools.

Now remember this last couple of weeks all the schools were involved in what we call a digital reading challenge.

So we are highlighting the top five schools that read the most minutes.

Is it your school?

Well, let's check.

Today, we are checking in on the school that came in and number four, let's see if it's your school ready?

Okay.

The school coming in and number four, us Turner.

Awesome job.

Good job, Turner Tiger.

You guys are doing an amazing job reading.

So continue reading.

Awesome job.

Now don't forget boys and girls speaking of reading and or gain.

Look at all these fun activity books that I still have here in our PBS classroom.

If you don't have one, make sure you have one of these so that you can continue working and making that brain super-strong.

Cause that's how we make our brain smart.

So to get one boys and girls, write me a letter, tell me what you're learning.

Tell me what you're reading.

You can write me a letter or email me and we'll send one of these books out to you but don't forget to put your home address or your what we call your return address.

So we know where to send it.

All right.

Hopefully I'll get your email soon or your letter so that I can be sitting in these out.

All right.

Awesome.

Okay, boys and girls, are you guys ready?

Let's get ready for our learning today.

So let's start off with what's that?

let's train those ear ears.

So get your listening ears.

Turn them up nice and high because remember you need to hear sound in order to read and write sounds.

Okay.

So today we're going to practice what we call a phony edition.

I'm going to say some sounds.

I'm going to add a sound or a phony, right?

And you're going to, and we're going to make a new word.

So let's see if you can make my new word ready.

Okay.

I'm going to use my red and yellow dots here to help us.

Ready?

Okay.

Help me blend it.

BAS are what's my word bar.

Catch up.

I'm going to add a N. What's my new word, ban what is it?

Ban?

Good job, boys and girls.

You got this.

Okay.

Next set of sounds.

Ready?

M, A, what is it?

May good job.

Add a k. What's my new word make?.

What is it?

Make.

Good, boys and girls.

Good job using those listening ears.

Okay.

Last set of sounds ready.

B, I, what is it?

Bye.

Good job.

I'm going to add a k. B, I, K what is it?

Bike.

Good job boys and girls adding those phonemes in to make a new word.

Awesome job.

Okay.

Now let's go into our word and phonics instruction of the week.

Now remember we have already gone through all of our sound spelling cards meaning you guys know all the sounds in the spelling pattern.

Now we're really going to be working on reading fluently and reading accurately.

And to do that, we're really going to focus on our syllable types because if you know how to divide words into syllables it's gonna really help you decode those multi-syllabic or what we call words with more than one syllables.

Okay.

And it's also going to help you write because when you read and write and we chunk up words into smaller, what call more manageable parts then it's easier for us to read and write them.

Okay?

So this week we're going to focus on open and closed syllable.

So what are open and close if you were watching yesterday, we learned that a closed syllable is a vowel that is closed in.

So because it's closed in, the vowel makes a short vowel sound.

So think of that close, short vowel sound an open syllable means the vowel is open.

So it makes a long vowel sound.

And there's a couple of what we call patterns to help us.

Okay.

Like, here's my word often.

You see?

I know it says, Oh, because there was two consonant and that usually means I divide between the two consonants and it's close off.

You see how the O, is closed off.

So that means it's going to make the ah the short vowel sound.

Okay same thing with music how did I know that you says you because it's an open syllable.

There's not a constant behind it, so the U is going to make a long, U sound okay.

And if you notice we're really just focused on that first syllable.

So let's just practice with those full first syllables.

The second syllables can also be open or close.

Okay.

So let's look at my word that I have here.

That's to help us decode.

Ready?

So if I'm looking and this is the word that I am unfamiliar with I'm gonna look and look at my pattern.

Okay.

First thing I'm going to do is find my vowels a is a vowel e is a vowel, what's in between?

One consonant.

Oh, do you guys see, remember that pattern?

If it's just a vowel consonant vowel, that means I'm going to divide where right between my vowel and my constant.

So, because my A is open.

The A's gonna say a good job.

It's going to say the long vowel sound.

Let's send it out now.

P, A that's the first syllable, second syllable P, and we know E R, E R says, ER, so P A P E R put it together, Paper.

How did you do?

Good job, boys and girls.

Okay.

Now let's look at my next set of letters.

Ready for seeing fine.

Our vows.

Good job.

e is a vow and another E. But what do you see?

I see a double constant.

Do you see that?

T is a consonant.

T's a consonant what do we need to do divide between the two constant.

Remember how we learned these patterns a while ago?

Now we're really going to put them into practice ready?

So now you see how the vowel is closed between two constant.

That means that he's going to make a short vowel sound.

You're right?

Let's decode the first syllable.

Ready?

at let you see how that's easy.

It's more manageable.

You guys didn't really have to sound that out.

We know it's let.

The next one says ter.

Right?

Put it together.

Letter, how did you do?

Awesome job, boys and girls.

So now let's practice really quickly.

Now what if I wanted to spell a word hidden?

Hmm.

So I'm writing a story and I want to write the word hidden again, hidden two syllables.

Right?

So for syllable hid, do we know how to spell that?

Yes we do.

How do I spell hid?

H I, I hear you.

Good job.

D next syllable den, D, E, N. Now did you notice something?

Yes.

Both vowels are closed in so hidden is a close syllable word.

Just like that.

Awesome job, boys and girls.

Okay.

Let's just quickly practice reading some open and closed syllable words.

And then we'll go into our high-frequency words.

Ready?

Okay.

So you guys see that vowel constant, constant vowel.

It's going to be sure.

Value right?

Lesson.

Good.

Sudden.

Good basket good.

How did you do?

awesome.

Let's do the next word, vowels.

Ready?

Oh, I, by itself, you see how they're not closing.

That means they are open so then my vowels are going to be long.

Ready T I tiny, tiny L A Dy lady and re Oh, bot robot.

Good reading, boys and girls.

Okay.

Now let's go and practice our high frequency words.

So let's pull this back.

Don't forget.

Every week we have 10 words that we are learning and it's and it's important to know our high frequency words.

Cause they show up most frequently.

Ready?

Here are my two words for today.

Ready?

Help me read and write, first word order.

Again, spell it with me.

O R D E R. Order.

Good job.

Next word is probably good.

Spell it with me.

P R O B a B L Y probably.

Good job.

Okay.

I have two sentences for us.

Let's try to figure out which one of my words will go into the sentence so that all makes sense.

Ready?

Read the first sentence with me.

We will...sandwiches for lunch.

I want to hear some of you guys shouting out the answer for me.

You're using those context clues.

Good job.

Let's read the second sentence and then we'll put it in our work to see if it makes sense.

Ready?

I can... go to the park today.

Oh, I heard you again.

Good job.

Okay.

Help me.

We will.... good job, order sandwiches for lunch.

So that must mean I can probably go to the park today.

How did you do?

Awesome job boys and girls let's practice reading all of our high-frequency words that we're going to be learning this week.

Ready?

Order, probably, remember, someone, tomorrow.

What's, worry, yesterday, door and front.

Good job.

Okay.

And we only have a quick, quick on time to really focus on our compound words and that's okay cause you guys know compound words, right?

Compound words are two small words put together to make one word.

So we're going to quickly read and you guys give me a thumbs up or thumbs down.

Is that a compound word?

And we might not get to all of it, but it's okay.

Ready?

Let's read it everyone.

Is that a compound word?

Thumbs up.

Good job.

How about this one?

Mistake.

Good job.

I thought I was going to trick you.

Thumbs down.

Mistake is not a compound word.

Mis is what we call a prefix.

Okay.

One more lifetime.

Yes.

Lifetime thumbs up.

Good job, boys and girls.

We will continue learning compound words the rest of the week, but I know it's super easy for you guys.

You guys know this boys and girls, you guys are doing such a great job and don't forget when you get stuck on something what do we say?

We say, I can do it because you can do hard things.

And don't forget that I'm proud of you.

Your teacher's proud of you and we're all proud of you.

So continue learning to make that brain super smart.

And don't forget to come back so that we can continue reading and writing, focusing on our syllables.

All right.

Have a good day.

Bye bye.
